DIY | Sweets: Crepe Cake

It has been raining lately in my city and it’s making me go into baking mode. It’s one of those things that I have been wanting to try forever. Crepe Cake. Delicate melt-in-your-mouth crepes, separated with a thin layer of homemade whip cream and pastry cream. It was the best and lightest desserts I have ever had.

I followed several different recipes to make each part of the cake, here’s everything I used:

I put less sugar and butter, you decide how decadent you want your crepes. For the audience I was baking for, I knew to put less sugar and butter than the recipe called for. They still turned out delicious!

I actually burnt my pastry cream, freaked out for a minute, and quickly transferred them into a cool bowl. I managed to salvage enough to fold into my whip cream. Whew!

After having all your cake portions made, it’s time to put it together! After the crepes cooled, it was a mission of thinly layering my whip/pastry cream in between each crepe. I decided to decorate the top of the cake with thinly sliced strawberries and garnished the cake with my crepe flowers!
